You would simply not believe they are sitting on the playoff bubble. It doesn't have to be GG's fault, but that is alot to add to last year's results and have nothing to show for it.

Big part of that can be pointed at the bottom 2 lines out of the gate. Had that been better I think we would/should see better results.
